Pulled out of our driveway and received a message that "AWD Temporarily Unavailable". This message did not indicate that this fault disables one-pedal driving. Upon reaching the end of my street at the stop sign, I gently let my foot off the accelerator expecting the car to slow down as it should when using one-pedal driving.

I have encountered recurring problems with the vehicle's automatic braking system, as well as issues with the Honda Prologue app, both of which I believe compromise the vehicle's safety and performance.

On several occasions while in reverse the car braked hard and violently for no reason. This caused a sudden jolt to me and the passengers endangering our safety. Also, this condition can cause an accident if I’m trying to back up to avoid a collision and the emergency braking system does not allow me to do such.

When the vehicle is in reverse, the safety feature that is supposed to prevent you from hitting something mistakenly goes off when there is nothing there. It seizes the car and immediately causes the brakes to go off. The car will feel like it got in a crash.

The collision system is too sensitive. Regularly when I’m backing into a parking spot the car will slam on the breaks even though there aren’t any objects in the way. This will also happen on occasion while driving forward normally potentially causing someone behind me to rear end the car

When turning the vehicle on, it sometimes displays an error in the instrument panel of the”Brake system failure 43 MPH Top Speed” When this error is present, the vehicle has almost no braking capability. One pedal braking is also disabled when this happens. So the only way to stop the car is to mash the brake pedal to the floor like your life depends on it.
